Frontend improvements standardised messaging and migrated financial data presentation from tables to accessible summary lists in hmrc/income-tax-self-employment-frontend, supporting a modern, accessible UI. Backend work introduced a dummy Loss Claim endpoint in ProfitOrLoss to enable IFS API integration, and removed dead code by eliminating an unused IFSConnector method.

October 2024 monthly summary for hmrc/income-tax-self-employment-frontend focused on improving end-to-end form navigation and ensuring reliable redirects in the multi-page journey. Delivered a targeted bug fix that ensures users are redirected back to Check Your Answers (CYA) when all journey pages are completed by switching the redirect mode to CheckMode on submission. This resolves a navigation flow issue where submissions did not return to CYA, enhancing reliability for data review and user experience. The change aligns with the [SASS-10321] ticket and was implemented with a minimal, maintainable update to the existing navigation logic.
